Our family had a fabulous trip to Morocco. The trip was well planned and implemented, and we really enjoyed the variety of settings and places as well as the planned tours and activities. We had a nice balance of planned time and open time. We enjoyed each city that we stayed in and each riad was more beautiful than the one before. The mountain and desert trip was a highlight! Rooms, service, and breakfast were excellent at all of our stays. Our driver (also named Yassine) was the best! He was fantastic; driving us through all sorts of weather, during Ramadan, and always with a warm smile. He helped organize our in country activities, coordinating with our guides, hammam, and cooking class...showing us to our Riads, etc. He was also helpful with dinner and sighteeing recommendations. He was really our main contact throughtout and he made the trip a memorable one for us. As for planning, the trip was super easy to plan with Yassine! I had done some research and shared my ideas at the start, and Yassine crafted them in to a fabulous itinerary. He was responsive to our changes and many questions and made helpful suggestions. Great experience overall. Will recommend to all of our friends!
Hotel Reviews
Rias Kalaa2 is a fabulous and conveniently located riad in Rabat. We loved the contemporary decor; the whole place was very charming with a combination of traditional and contemporary decor. We shared a family suite with two bathrooms, and it was very comfortable for three.. The rooftop deck and pool were a treat. Breakfast and tea service were excellent and the food delicious. Highly recommend!
Gorgeous and spacious Riad in Fes,. We cannot say enough about the beauty of this place - the tiles, the ceilings, the beautiful doors. incredible. The staff were courteous and helpful. As a convenience, we were able to pay a small amount to have some laundry done. Breakfast was delicious and set up in a stunning salon. The Riad is conveniently located near a gate to meet our driver and about a 12 minute walk to the main commercial area and the blue gate. Highly recommend!
Wonderful glamping experience! Despite the blowing winds when we arrived, our dinner and stay at the camp was phenomenal. The food was delicious, exceeding all expectations; ,the tents very well appointed and comfortable, and the staff very entertaining. This is a not to miss place during a trip to Morocco!
One of our favorite stays during our two weeks in Morocco. We loved the contemporary esthetic of the place - so many amazing "touches" and accents throughout. The staff were extremely kind, courteous and accommodating. Our room was very charming and comfortable. Location was great, with a 15 min walk through "the garden" tp Ait Ben Haddou. one of the highlights was the three course dinner. one of the best meals during our two weeks. Really excellent overall.
Amazingly beautiful and comfortable Riad. The green tiles and complementary textiles are stunning. So many colorful and tasteful touches throughout. It felt very upscale, but welcoming. Breakfast on the terrace was a nice touch. Food was delicious and service was kind, quick, and courteous. It is about a 20 min walk to the main square, which we did not mind as it was good exercise (just be mindful you need to cross some busy streets). But closer to Saadian tombs, Cafe Clock, and other sites. Highly recommend.
We stayed here the night before our trip home (early the next morning). Hotel fit our needs and was comfortable. Staff brought us a nice piece of cake to celebrate our stay. Staff were extremely courteous and helpful.

We had a great time with Zara exploring some of Fes' main sites and the souks. We went to a lot of craft coops but the vendors were not pushy, so we were able to learn about the crafts without feeling a strong obligation to purchase.
Good experience, good scrubbing, rejuvenating. We were told by our agency that materials were included but then had to pay for them on site, The protocol was not clear, but we eventually caught on after some awkward moments.
Must do if this is your first trip to Morocco. The whole experience was incredible - luxury camping, excellent food, exceptional views, serene camel rides, plus entertainment. A ver memorable 18 hours.
We had a lovely tour in Marrakech seeing most of the important sites, with a nice midday break. Despite winds and rain, we covered a lot in the medina and the Jardin Majorelle. Moulay Rashid very knowledgeable and entertaining and full of energy! We learned so much about Moroccan hisotory and culture... as well as our way around the souks.
Another wonderful and can't miss experience in Marrakech. After a nice coffee and tea break, we selected our three course menu, shopped with our chef, and started prepping and cooking. Our chef taught us techniques and made suggestions of when to take pics so we would be able to recreate at home. While things were cooking, we enjoyed fresh squeezed juices and a lovely breeze on the terrace. Once ready, we enjoyed our meal. We so very impressed with the meal that we helped create. The prep and cooking was fun, educational and entertaining. We are now inspried to make more Moroccan dishes at home!
